IMPROVEMENT IN`MACHINES FOR MAKING BARREL-HEADS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 123,201, dated January30, 1872.

SPECIFICATION.

I, GOTTERIED ScHLoEMEE, of Greenfield, in the county of Milwaukee, inthe State of Wisconsin, have invented certain Improvements in Machinesfor Making Barrel-Heads, of which the following is a specification:

N @turc and Object of the Invention.

My invention is a machine to he used by hand for cutting outbarrel-heads; and consists of a straight frame, with a screw and point,to be set up or back, according to the size of the head to be cut, andknives to be set in the frame to cut the head and gauge to limit thecut.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my invention, and Fig. 2 alongitudinal sectional view of same.

A is the frame or stock; B, the front knife, standing vertical; C, theslanting knife; D, the gauge to regulate the cut. It is hung by screwson the two sides of the machine, and is bent forward or hack, so as toreach down further or less, according to the depth Wanted to he cnt. E,the screw; F, handle to the screw; G, point-stock or nut, with the screwE passing through it; H. the point; I, nut

on the screw at the end of the frame, which turns with the screw, and,huttin g against the end of the frame, prevents' the screw from movingendwise, so that the stock of the point as the screw is turned moves upor hack; K K, the Wedges which hold the knives in place. This machine isa very hand)T machine for a maker of barrels who has no machinery forpreparing the stuff'.

The knives are set, the `perpendicular knife set, the point of it aboutan eighth of au inch below the slanting knife, and the gauge set so thattheknives shall cut deep enongh,a11d the point H set so that thediameter of the barrel shall he of the right size; then take hold of themachine, putting the point H in the center, and then whirl the machineround, and it will cut ahead.

I claim- Stock A, knives B and C, gauge D, and screw E, in combina-tionwith nut G and point H, substantie-U5r as described.
